Thanks for the info. Are the 850 and V70 difficult or cramped to work on? My 745 is the easiest car I've ever owned to work on. Great access to everything, and all very intelligently designed. Are the FWD cars also so well laid out and easy to work on?
How is the learning curve for the 850/V70? And, will I need any or many different tools? One of the big advantages of another 745 or a 945 is that it will be identical to Brunhilde, the 745T. No learning curve, same tools and equipment works, etc.
Important point: my familiarity with the 745/945 makes it very easy for me to evaluate one prior to purchase. I'd be lost checking out an 850/V70. And there is not a full article in the FAQ about pre-purchase of them, although I can glean some ideas of what to look for from the section that lists their problems and discourages buying them.

My daughter, is by her own description, "prematurely middle-aged." She would like a nice car, but probably not "fun" involving a car. On the other hand, my wife, the constant 20 year old (and the reason our daughter feels she has to be the responsible female in the family) would love a convertible, and I've tried to convince her to buy a C70. But she does not like the C70 - too big. She would rather an itsy-bitsy Miata.
What my daughter would love very much is a C30. With the flower print applique on the outside, the matching applique on the console, the flower-petal shaped wheels, and in a pretty color. But, we can't afford $25,000 and up for a second car.
